MGH MD PnP team awarded Dept. of Homeland Security research contract

“Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, was awarded $950,000 to develop a medical device cybersecurity data repository. This repository, which will be developed through an effort titled “Healthcare Data Generation and Curation for Cybersecurity Analysis,” will enhance cyber protection of hospital clinical environments by providing the data cybersecurity researchers can use to develop monitoring rulesets and tools based on changes in response to threats to medical devices and networks. This knowledge will be broadly applicable in other environments.”

We are looking forward to performing this foundational medial device cybersecurity research using the capabilities of our new MD PnP Lab “virtual hospital sandbox” with medical devices, simulators, and specialized networking equipment. – Julian Goldman
